Well, we are more than stuffed, and will have some pounds to try to work off before we start indulging in all the Christmas treats that will be tempting us before long.

Our Thanksgiving was wonderful! We went across the street to our son and daughter-in-law's house. Our DIL really outdid herself, as usual. She sent some leftovers home with us, and we continue to eat those. I made six pies, which, of course, was way too much, but that's what I do. We sent some home with everyone, and still have a little left, but surprisingly enough, I am a little tired of pie.

Our DIL sent home the turkey carcass with us, and we made up a big batch of turkey stock. Tomorrow night we will have the kids and grandkids here and have turkey noodle soup. This is definitely the season for soup, and it seems I don't make much else in the winter.

Today I should be able to finish the quilting of my Winter Wonderland, and get the machine portion of the binding done. Then I can vegetate and hand-sew on bindings on two almost completed items - the other being a silver bells stained glass wall hanging. Pics to follow!

About Me

I am a retired wife, mother and grandmother. My husband is the best. We have two dear sons, two lovely daughters-in-law, and four darling grandchildren. We are very fortunate to have our children and grandchildren close by, so we see a lot of them. In my spare time, I love to quilt, and have the stash, etc. to go along with it. I enjoy cooking and I love to try new recipes. I also crochet, embroider, and knit, but not nearly to the extent that I quilt.
